Variances

In certain situations, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship on a piece of property. In these cases a hearing before the Board of Adjustment (B.O.A.) may be warranted as a means to provide relief for such hardships. A property hardship is one that is due to, and resulting from the shape, size, or terrain that exists on a piece of property. Financial or self-imposed hardships do not quality for variance consideration by the Board. All requests for a variance must be accompanied by:

A completed application

Two complete sets of project plans (24x36) and one complete set of project plans (11x17)

Electronic version of complete set of plans. Flash drive is acceptable. Content and type of plans will be determined by staff after preliminary project review
